I will be doing research in Dublin starting September 2017.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm currently working on a PhD, so spend most of time doing research and writing thousands of words only to delete most of them and start over. All this to say: I'm flexible as long as I have Internet access.

I love Toronto but am always up for new sights, sounds and smells. I have lived in 11 countries and travelled to over 70 (and counting) so I have no problem being in new environments.

Why I want to house sit

My mission last year was to travel whenever I can, however it happens, with whatever means I have! And I hope to continue this year as well!

I will be doing research this year and would prefer to house sit so that I can have a quiet environment. This means I would be 'home' mostly so there is never fear of leaving pets alone for more than a couple of hours max.

My experience

I have house and pet sat for family and friends for years. I am honest, reliable and caring.

I have owned a home too and know how essential it is to have a trustworthy sitter taking care of your home and pets. I am handy, I renovated most of my own home myself! I am not a party animal and don't smoke or do drugs. I am a vegetarian. I would treat your home as I would like others to treat mine.

Dina was amazing with kitty. I was nervous leaving him and letting him out, but she completely put me at ease, gave me updates and basically was all round great. The house was left wonderfully tidy and she was very accommodating to my schedule. Thank you so much Dina :) + More

We were honoured to have Dina as our first pet sitter while we were on a 10 days trip in California. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better person to look after our 2 cats.

She was giving us some news, sending pictures, and updating about the cats so we could enjoy our vacation knowing that everything was alright.

When we came back, we were enchanted to find our place cleaner than it ever be. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Thank you so much Dina for this first petsitting experience.

From the outset Dina was an excellent and proactive communicator, making sure that she got every last detail of her stay agreed before we left, which was very reassuring for a family that had not used a house/dog-sitting service before.

She was the perfect combination of someone who is extremely competent, efficient and organised whilst also laid-back enough to happily agree to a long list of of requests to minimise the stress of our absence to our (slightly neurotic!) dog. This included allowing Harry to sleep on her bed with her (as big ask, considering how much he snores!) and cooking up chicken to add to his food (Dina is vegetarian)

While we were away we got regular updates about life back home, with photos/videos of what was clearly a very happy and relaxed little dog. When we arrived back from our holiday, our house was in immaculate condition, far cleaner/tidier than it would usually be when the family are home and Harry was in fine form. We would not hesitate to recommend Dina as a house-sitter. Our only reluctance would be the possibility that she gets too booked up, as we're hoping to get Dina back again for our next holiday!
